From The Star – A Paid Liberal Party Influencer Operation: Far-right influencers are weaponizing Canada as a warning to Americans!!!

Lauren Southern, aged 29, is nostalgic for the good old days.

In a 17-minute video posted by Tenet Media five months ago titled “My Home Town’s Been Destroyed,” the Canadian-born darling of certain far-right corners of the internet takes viewers to Surrey, B.C., illustrated by soaring drone shots of single family homes backdropped by the Fraser River. Mentally, Southern invites them back to the idyllic mid-1990s when, as she recalls, the famously diverse Vancouver suburb still had immigration, “but you know, we all spoke the language — generally integrated,” she says.

“There were still pockets you could live in, where it was a real community,” she says.


And she’s right. The Star, a paid Liberal Party influencer operation would rather drink poison than admit that of course. Really they’d rather you drink poison than admit they are the “Help” paid to peddle the vicious cons of the LPC.

MacDougall: Can local democracy survive the decline of local news?

If, as the great Joni Mitchell says, you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone, perhaps it’s time to appreciate the local news before it goes.

These words reach you thanks to the efforts of the small — yet mighty — engine that still powers the sole print-based daily newsroom in Canada’s capital. But how long such local messengers will continue to reach you is a real question, one that might be decided by the next federal election, where funding for journalism with be a point of debate between Justin Trudeau (who favours some) and Pierre Poilievre (who doesn’t).

HANNAFORD: It’s not Elon Musk who threatens Canadian news, it’s Trudeau

The random tweet of a Liberal MP does not, of course, represent Liberal government policy. But when Liberal Whitby MP Ryan Turnbull tweeted it was ‘scary’ that a ‘Poilievre-led government would end subsidies to mainstream media and defund the CBC,’ you can bet he is channeling Liberal water-cooler conversation.

‘You’re only sorry that you got caught’: CTV News exec grilled by MPs after two employees ‘terminated’ over edited Poilievre clip

The fallout from CTV News’ airing of an altered clip continues, as Bell Media Vice-President Richard Gray faced a barrage of questions from a House of Commons committee on Thursday.

The contention stems from an edited clip that aired on CTV News last month that misrepresented what Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre had said in the House of Commons, leading to a blanket Conservative boycott of the Bell Media-owned news network. After two CTV News employees were let go, and two public apologies from the broadcaster, Poilievre lifted his boycott last week.

Vivian Bercovici: On Oct. 7, terrorists invaded Israel — and their sympathizers took over Canadian streets

Every time I drive on Road 232, a main artery through southern Israel, I see phantoms.

Since moving to a kibbutz in southern Israel in July, Road 232 has become my lifeline, as it is for all residents of a region that is dotted with small towns and villages. This beautiful, pastoral area is where much of Israel’s fresh produce is grown.


And who are the guilty parties.

Canada’s decline is due to the machinations of a corrupt elite.

They are the people who encouraged mass Islamist immigration and surrendered our institutions to the radical liberal-left.

They called us racists and Islamophobes while flooding the nation with incompatible cultures which they in turn championed as equal or  better to our own. 

The made us poor by depressing wages and profiting from the shortages created by their mass immigration scheme.

They made laws to silence dissent and co-opted the news media to further their agenda.

They hate us. Once you accept that it all makes sense.

Liberals offer the worst possible reaction to CTV’s doctored Poilievre clip

CTV News made a seemingly necessary decision Thursday afternoon in the aftermath of one of the craziest Canadian network-journalism fiascos in recent memory: After an internal investigation, it says it discovered two video editors were involved in “altering a video clip” — which is to say doctoring, truncating and taking entirely out of context a quote from federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre about an urgent need to bring down the government.

CTV announced Thursday that it has now parted ways with those editors.

Terry Newman: CTV delivers another shameful example of anti-Poilievre bias

With a federal election that could come any day now, and the Liberal government’s public favour continually waning, some, shall we say, unorthodox media practices appear to be afoot, particularly in terms of how Pierre Poilievre is being presented to Canadian viewers. The Conservatives are always complaining about progressive media bias. This is what they mean.

Conservatives ‘won’t engage’ with CTV until network admits ‘malicious editing’ of clip

Conservative MPs will refuse to engage with CTV and its reporters until the network acknowledges that a recent clip of leader Pierre Poilievre was “maliciously” edited.

While CTV issued an apology, Poilievre’s director of media relations Sebastian Skamski said it wasn’t good enough.

CBC’s The National shows hours of political conventions in the US, but only minutes of Canadian gatherings

Multiple political conventions have happened across North America in the last one-and-a-half years, and journalists have been busy covering them.

But while The National, CBC’s flagship program during the nightly news devoted loads of coverage to US conventions while mere minutes to Canadian ones.


I don’t watch their coverage because of CBC’S TDS and its knee-jerk anti-Americanism.

Peter Menzies: Subsidized journalists are praising the government hand that feeds

Some news organizations have begun to bare their teeth and their bias in the fight to retain federal subsidy dollars.

In doing so, they are displaying a willingness to unashamedly defend Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government, in order to preserve the funding regime it established for media unable to adapt to the digital age.
